I started mining yesterday, the same day I discovered Bitcoin. Not sure how profitable it will be, but I thought it would be fun to try. Personally, I think the heyday of mining is long gone, but there still is money to be made from it. The people who really profited were those who mined in the early days and kept their Bitcoins.

No way. Imo, we are still near the beginning. What if BTC goes to $500 and you saved your BTC. What if you saved 1200 in a year?

Seems those with a background in building Gaming Hardwarehave the edge, so not exactly a level playing field, but all theinfo it out there for those who look. It would be more difficultfor a hardware head to learn programming

Pretty straightforward stuff, but want to get into liquid cooling to increase overclocking

currently mining and trying to get my first bitcent (0.01)! At 10Mhash/s and 10% efficiency this will take a while, but I need 0.01 to withdraw it from the mining site. Then I will finally have my first bitcent in the wallet!(my graphic card can not mine, it's a Geforce GT 230)

Also fairly new to mining... I found out about Bitcoin last Friday and started mining on Saturday. Currently mining at a rate of about 3.3 GHash over at BTC Guild, and trying out 1bitc0inplz's bitp.it pool (although I've been having some troubles).

Mining for a few days now. Only running about 32 Mhash/s so nothing special. I will admit I've been looking for an excuse to buy some new gear to upgrade my gaming rig. Looks like I'll be going ATI this time around.

I am pushing 660Mhash/s with my two cards now, but will probably only be mining for 1 more difficulty increase. With the bitcoin market as volatile as it is right now, there is so much more profit to be made buying low and selling high. And I expect the difficulty increases to be MASSIVE, so that basically only the people who went all out are making any money off of it.

Currently running:

3x 5050's @ 360 MHash

8x 5830's @ 275 MHash

What 5830's are you using? I can't seem to squeeze that much out of mine. I haven't set up MSI afterburner yet....

What 5830 do you have? I have the Sapphire 5830 that was 110 on newegg a week ago, and I am getting 306Mhash/s out of mine, but I have gotten it as high as 315Mhash/s. Don't want to push it though so I run it only at 306Mash/s 24/7.

Stock voltageUsing Sapphire Trixx software, overclocked to 1010mhzmemory underclocked to 300mhzRunning about 56c at full load.

well i just discovered bitcoin and mining about 12 hours ago. So after a few hours getting my hardware happy I started mining. A long time ago i was a pro gamer and have always used laptops. Most people have this thing that laptops are crappy and etc. I would have to agree that Most laptops are. My laptop isnt included among the crappy. Currently mining at about 210mh/s which from what i have read isnt too bad with a single 5870. The only thing i havent figured out quite yet is how to get the coins i have earned into my account on mtgox
